Eminent Technology LFT-VIIIa
I'm a very happy LFT-VIIIa owner and highly recommend them, they compete with pretty well any speaker out there in terms of sound quality. A few things to bear in mind; they require a big-ass amp to drive'em, they take two people to put together, ... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
All the best for a quick and complete recovery, I still owe Pat at least one record. Our thoughts, hopes, and prayers are with Pat and his family. Jeff 
why doesn't everyone own a pair of spica's???
I had Angelus speakers, they were limited in terms of low-end but imaged beautifully. I suspect that Spica's do well in a smaller room and at low volume. When driven hard the woofers bottomed out and subsequently "blew up". Nope, the Classe amplif... 
Bed room systems?
Linn Classik and some small speakers, perhaps Gallos or B&W LM1's. You can always add a sub later if you're so inclined. 
I completely lack fiscal discipline...
I'm proud of you, 'tis the season of giving, you gave to yourself. Just think of all the people you'll make happy by listening to your iPod rather than bothering them. Selfless!I just got a new laptop and don't want to clutter up my hard drive wit... 
I'm Very SCARED - Please advise, Cartridge Drop
Jmcgrogan2,That was funny! 
Shania Twain Best of... WOW I have always
Although I'm certainly no fan of C&W Shania has done a nice job of "crossing over" and making the style more mainstream. She has a great voice and a terrific producer (her husband, Mutt Lang). I saw Shania in concert a few years back; the peop... 
Turrntable With or Without Suspension?
The caps lock on the title was bad enough.. but "yous"? Anyway, you'll need to de-couple the turntable from the floor so the stylus doesn't end up dancing all over your cherished vinyl when the troops come marching through your listening room. Loo... 
Speaker Cable to Replace Zu Cable Wax
I replaced my Bi-Wire Zu Wax with Bi-Wire DH Labs Q10 and couldn't be happier. As always system synergy plays a huge role in how things turn out but I would strongly advise trying out the DH Labs stuff. Best, Jeff 
Has anyone heard consonance eric line of speakers?
I heard them at Consonance's showroom in Hong Kong, driven by a Consonance Opera Cyber 10 integrated and their reference SACD player. The room wasn't optimized but the sound was similar to the Sonus Faber speakers they had on hand. The Eric speake... 
Have anyone seen these speakers? Or system?
Looks like something Gilbert @ Blue Circle dreamed up 
Argh Too Many Choices
Max,"Paralysis by analysis", all too common. It would help if you shared with us your room, musical preferences, and budget. For what it's worth I have a Golden Tube SET listed here on AudioGon, drop me a line if you're interested. End of shameles... 
Why I Like Thiel
I'll certainly take a close look at Thiel products when the upgrade bug hits

Eminent Tech LFT 8 subs/cables and tweaks
Congratulations, the ET LFTVIII is a truly wonderful transducer. You have the Sound Anchors in place, only other suggestion is running the speakers without the jumpers in a bi-wire configuration. I would strongly suggest you try out some DH Labs s...
